My mom and dad had the vaccine. They're both in their 60s. No side effects, nothing. I'm glad I don't need to worry about them.
That's good to hear. I'm glad for you and your family. My parents are in their early seventies and are expected to get the vaccine in May.Quote:

I saw there was some drama going in Europe with the vaccines but I started watching the news halfway through so I had no idea what was actually going on.
Down here today several thousands of people gathered in a park for a music festival called La Boum that everybody and they momma *knew* was an April Fools' Day joke anyway. Since only 4 people are allowed to meet up in public at the same time, the police charged in with water cannons. full on jungle guerilla warfare happening right now lmao.
^^after all was said and done 22 police officers and 7 police horses were injured. a lot of arrests as well. the 'festival' had neen announced by an art collective but people ran with it
South Africa variant can 'break through' Pfizer's vaccine

That's a relief. I got my first Moderna shot last Saturday and my second is the first week of May.Quote:

COVID numbers in Europe are spiking again because of holiday travel and because of the Euro Soccer Championship being organized in 11 countries which involves a lot of traveling for fans. For US reference, this championship normally sees all the games in one particular country only so with COVID now it's unfortunate that this specific edition went 'Europe wide'
Good call on having the Olympics without an audience. It would have been a mass spreading event as the Euro Championship now shows
To the Brits on here : good luck tomorrow in the final. I'll be watching. Please take out the Italians who took out the Belgians lol. Thanks.
People still care about this shit?
There's nothing much to complain about nowadays. I don't wear my mask anymore.Quote:

In terms of dominant variants we went from the original strain (China) to the alpha strain (Britain) to delta (India) and possibly to 'delta plus' now. Each of these strains is more contagious than the previous one. So (in Europe) it's a race between getting people their shots and the virus strain changes.
On the bright side Dooch the home country might take the title in soccer tonight.
My money is on the Brits though.
I don’t know I never bought into the fear of corona.
Good for them. I always root for Italy even over the USA unless it’s an Italian-American represented team or person, which is rare. We’re only 4 percent of the pop.Quote:

We're back to wearing masks again in my office even though we're fully vaccinated. Higher-up orders. Smh.
^^Yep more bad news. meanwhile Europe is going down the drain due to delta again. I think maybe Spain and Italy are still doing okay (it's been a week since I saw numbers for all European countries in the newspaper)
trying to contain omikron within the southern african region is necessary and governments should give it their all but personally I think there's no containing new variants locally if they start to prevail over the dominant variant from before
lol dude…. There’s nothing that can stop it. Live your life.
You we’re probably better off getting natural immunity but fuck it I guess getting a shot every six months ain’t the biggest deal in the world.
It's pretty bad if we're facing another year of travel restrictions and further economic downturn.
I'm taking all the shots that are on offer. I'm probably getting the chance to get my 3rd shot (booster vaccine) in January or more likely even in FebruaryQuote:

I'll be happy if it wears off. I keep telling myself I'll go get the shot but never prioritize it. Idk if I'm going to have to get the boosters after that too because clearly the shot isn't shit anymore. Also don't know what 2025 will look like where N's are taking 13 booster shots a year.
I heard they're making a pill and I'm much more comfortable with that. Just take it when you get sick like everything else. The concept of immunization has really been bastardized by this media fiasco of a pandemic. They'll probably find a way to start convincing everyone that the pill is for anti-Semites or horses or something.
I still have strange smells in my nose every so often after losing it from covid.
Back in February of ‘20 after having the original Rona, i think, I had on and off pulsatile tinnitus until September ‘20, then it went away.
One of my girls doctors had the same symptom afterward.

only tangentially related, I saw the first few eps of this and it sucked. it probably didn't help that I watched it in French to practise my comprehension skills. the show has a good rep thoughQuote:
